Your spin on reality isn't reality. "It was rigged!" That should be the new RNC slogan.
The legal system is notorious for never discriminating against people based on factors such as politics or race, I'm sure we would both agree.
1) Yes the US justice system can be objectively evidenced to exhibit bias, against the poor for example, where it has been objectively demonstrated time and again, that poor legal representation has enabled people to be coerced into accepting plea bargains, when the evidence against them was extremely dubious.
3) The US legal system can be objectively demonstrated to be biased against certain ethnicities and skin colour, by citing sentencing disparities for similar convictions for example.
4) Trump by comparison had the best lawyers money could buy, and a lengthy trial, and the evidence demonstrated his guilt was and is beyond any reasonable doubt, and his sentencing was demonstrably never going to be severe, and now likely will amount to nothing significant.
So your disdain for people who have not actually been convicted of a crime as "criminals", is starkly contrasted by your breathless worship of a man who is a convicted felon. NB There is no objective evidence that Trump's trial was any sort of conspiracy against him, only the kind of vapid rhetoric you have presented here. FWIW, I have no political allegiances here, since I am not from the US.
